On Bravo’s Shahs of Sunset Season 5 Episode 6, Mike Shouhed and Jessica Parido’s marital problems came to light like never before.
If you’re at all familiar with the show, you knew this was coming – well, either you knew or it doesn’t surprise you at all. Because obviously.
Most couples could benefit from seeing therapist to assess their differences and find a way to move forward together, but these two?
It’s like a battle just to be in the same room with each other.
In any case, the crux of Shahs of Sunset Season 5 Episode 6, titled “A Cat-astrophic Night,” centered on this most dysfunctional duo.
Somewhat ironic, in a sense, given that when Mike started dating Jessica, it was his relationship with the rest of the cast that splintered.
Now, it appears his marriage is already doing the same.
Yes, it’s only been a few months, but these two already find themselves unable to live with each other and on the cusp of a split. Already.
“You know we’ve been having marital problems. It’s just something I’m trying to understand,” he tells the therapist, at a loss for words.
According to Mike, his wife moved out to “take a break,” but when Jessica didn’t return even after a few days, he started to worry a bit.
One can certainly understand that this isn’t a good thing.
While the therapist tries to figure out what’s gone wrong, Mike’s partner says that some key issues between them haven’t been resolved.
Perhaps most significantly, after changing herself for him, she feels like she has no power left and it wasn’t even worth it for this guy.
We’re paraphrasing, yes, but this is heavy stuff.
Mike famously cheated on his partner before they were married and told her this after Jessica found a text message. Not a good start.
In the end, a shocking revelation about Mike’s marriage was made and it took place at co-star Asa Soltan’s mother’s retirement party.
Did Mike tell the rest of the crew about the state of his marriage – and did Jessica ask him for a divorce with the cameras rolling?
